IRELAND

v

FRANCE

European Grand Final!

Last time, Round 8, Ireland 420 lost to France 518!

The French look likely to be undermanned...

Ireland came from a draft which boasts 3 top 8 teams (West Coast, Sydney, Adelaide), while France came from a draft which have three bottom 10 teams (Collingwood, Melbourne, Gold Coast).

I'm calling France as the underdog

[Nige]

Can't believe a draft 2 team made it, a true miracle!

Im hoping for a draw in this one  ;D   :-X

France would win if that was the case (finished higher on the ladder)

Seriously though, weve lost nicholls and swan in the past couple of weeks... Unless oxley comes in I'm going to have to pull out a big call for my 5th man.

Haha, I wish.

Look, we've been the underdog basically all season- I think we were one of the bottom ranked teams coming out of the group stages, it'd be weird to be anything different :P

Let's hope for some resting from the top 8 :P

[Ziplock]

im real salty Sam Mitchell didn't play

and if he had and you'd won I would have been salty swan got injured after a quarter and a half on 83 points :P

[GoLions]

France 434  v   Italy 474
Netherlands 400   v   Spain 369
Germany 475  v   Greece 370

Hmmm...I'm claiming best team if France win :P

[tbagrocks]

Our boys started well, teetered off and came home strong! We made it!

Our lads are back playing at their best too and with Brodie Smith having his best game for months, we can sniff it ;D

Thanks to Oz and the others for such a great and competitive comp!

[tbagrocks]

Righto the big one! This is what the team has been aiming for all year!

So bennell and swan join nicholls on the injury sideline, so we're just going to take a crack here

Viney
Kolodjashnij
Watts
Oxley
